24 valve cam

[warhammer92]

So my buddy sold his 24 valve and has a brand new helix 2 cam. That he will sell me for 250$.will this can work in my engine.I hope it does cus a Hamilton is expensive

[RCCUMMINS89]

Yes, you can...........however they don't have a lift pump lobe.

[warhammer92]

So I have to buy an electric lift pump so I'd still come out to the same price

[RCCUMMINS89]

Pretty much

Plus, the Hamilton 188/220 seems to be quite the ticket right now.

[warhammer92]

Yeah I'm just worried with clearance and kinda want to be on the safe side with the 188/208.
Found out how muchh they took off my head and block.it was .065

[RCCUMMINS89]

Ah......

[warhammer92]

Anything over stock is better.plus Im not revving it higher than stock rpms so I wouldn't really benefit the 188/220

[Remps]

The 188/220 actually makes the most bottom end power, perfect for a VE.

[RCCUMMINS89]

The common thinking is the larger the cam the better for high end........there is a lot of truth to that, but the 188/220 seems to make the most bottom end.

Remps is dead on what the testing has shown so far.

[warhammer92]

You guys are putting me in quite a predicament now.I want to make low end power but I don't want to spend 600$ and be screwed

[RCCUMMINS89]

Call Zach Hamilton.............

[warhammer92]

I did.he said run the 220 if I had enough clearance but said the 208 would also be a good choice

[RCCUMMINS89]

He didn't give you any words of encouragement or lack of encouragement whether it would clear?

Well, poo.

[turboram]

I put a 188/220 in several motors and they clear fine
